My
Saiga 12 gauge works great as a hunter AND is very comforting as a Home Defense gun as well. The Tapco adjustable stock allows for my wife's shorter reach, and the semi-auto , even with the 5 round factory mag has the ability to put out a LOT of pellets in a hurry, if necessary. For my reassurance I don't use the low recoil ammo. I want to be sure what I shoot will feed and eject on schedule...and full-kick #2 or#4 Turkey-shot will do that for me (and not destroy the house). I keep a slug as the 5th round in my HD mags. If we get to #5, the guy needs some serious stopping !
